=== Types of entries ===
There are four types of entries: (1) named authors, (2) titles of anonymous works (3) saints, including legends, sermons, liturgical texts belonging to each Nordic saint (found under sanctus / sancta), (4) a few collective articles on genres such as Annales and Catalogi.

A few entries of important authors are still missing, most notably Sancta Birgitta, Wilhelm of Æbelholt, Brynolf Algotsson, and Magister Matthias.

=== Founders and editors ===
This site was founded by Stephan Borgehammar, Karsten Friis-Jensen (†), Lars Boje Mortensen and Åslaug Ommundsen.
